Today we returned from the southwestern Washington coast to Visginia Mason and Dennis met with the radiology technicians that will administer the IMRT style radiation for 8 days-that's right. 8 days only, and the treatments should take 15 to 20 minutes total.

It was a little tricky to make sure that the new Varian Trilogy radiation machine was lined up perfectly for the multidimensional x rays that are being focused on the two lesions he has. After driving in the traffic here in Seattle I wished we were back on the coast sitting on the beaches or watching great blue herons on the marshes. But Dennis will be able to come home earlier than planned and that is good.

It's Amish baked chicken, sweet potato and rainbow chard for dinner so I had better get back to it. This is a very restorative menu! Best, Dennis and Faith
